Hello! My name is Sara and I am a registered mental health counselor intern with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville University and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Central Florida. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, or other challenges. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood while working together to develop meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create positive changes in their lives.
My approach to therapy is person-centered, strength-based, and collaborative. I incorporate CBT, DBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Gestalt techniques to help clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I support clients in building self-awareness, developing coping skills, and recognizing their strengths.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if mental health was rarely discussed in your family or community. You do not have to navigate everything on your own. I hope to provide a space where you feel safe and understood. I am here to meet you with compassion and without judgment. When you feel ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Miami, FL usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Miami, FL offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
